Merci Sidney

On September 27, 2019, Sidney Crosby returned to Rimouski, Quebec to be honored by his junior team, the Rimouski Oceanic. Family, friends, and fans gathered to celebrate the retirement of Crosby’s number 87 not only from the Oceanic, but from the entire Quebec Major Junior Hockey League as well. Ride along with Sid as he celebrates and reflects on his time and impact in Rimouski.

He is among the best ambassadors this sport ever had and a true inspiration. Such a class act. Thank you #87

[@VeonV1]

Couldn't be more blessed to have this wonderful man as our captain and a face of Pittsburgh as a whole. I've always idolized his talent and hard work, but I truly believe his humbleness, class, grace and overall respect for every other person he comes across shines through greater than even his legendary skill. To be so great on the ice yet even better off it truly is what defines him as a human being in my opinion; as true a role model as you can find. Merci beaucoup Sidney, we love you dearly and your story is far from over! I can't wait to see everything else you accomplish, though my biggest fear is it going by too quickly (like the past 15 year has felt like)! You deserve all the honor and praise you get, from Rimouski and the Q, to your inevitable induction into the Hall of Fame, and everything else you rightfully will receive from Pittsburgh, Canada, and hockey/the sports world as a whole! Thank you for all you do and for giving a city so much life and hope, for encouraging kids to grow up and be what they want to be and pursue their dreams, and for being an undoubted leader and role model both on and off the ice!

Crosby spent only two years in the Q, but they were two extraordinarily impactful years that changed the league. It included a Memorial Cup Final appearance. He dominated the league like very few others (maybe Guy Lafleur, Mike Bossy, and Mario Lemieux?) A well-deserved honour.
